Psychology Crime

Crime is an expensive aspect of society, and each year huge amounts of public money are spent on the courts, police, probation services, and prisons, while the human costs in terms of pain, fear and loss is incalculable.

Psychology and Crime by Clive Hollin, Professor of Criminological Psychology in the School of Psychology at the University of Leicester, covers the vital role of psychological theories and methods in understanding and managing criminal behaviour. It analyses the application of psychological findings to a range of serious crimes, such as arson, violent crime, and sexual crime. It examines the use of psychology by the police and the courts and discusses the role of psychology in crime reduction strategies.
